Well, here it is, my jazzart collection, brought to you one or two sections at a time, weather and body issues permitting.
Of course, I should first introduce you to my little online fine art gallery, and maybe show you around our JazzArt Exhibit, to give you the idea of how well-known and celebrity exhibited performance backdrops and panels actually have been over the past 35 years …
There’s tons more, and you can download the full-color scrapbook PDF to use with your customers or online in your shop or gallery.
In addition to my own JazzArt, I have many more artists in my collection, all original works on paper, many quite rare and valuable. If you want easy recognition, then these will be easy to sell to the right customer:
This original full-color handpulled litho, overprinted with DLM graphics, is by Chagall, and runs around $2,000.00.
Here you see a one-of-a-kind Renoir work on paper. It’s fully documented and is quite rare. There isn’t another one like it anywhere in the world.
This is an early-state Renoir etching, found commonly in posthumous edition, but this is very early from a fresh plate, and sells for around $30,000.00
Here we have a Jasper Johns that has sold at $64,000.00 — my copy is for sale at only $45,000.00.
Rare and desirable “Man of 10,000 Ages” by Miro, and comes museum-framed.
St. Jerome in a Dark Chamber by Rembrandt is rarest possible, and sells at around $50,000.00.
Chagall Daphnis & Chloe, Rare Litho, framed, available for only $18,500.00.
Very rare Degas etching, unfinished struck plate, sale price negotiable.
Picasso Copperplate Engraving, $22,000.00.
Just to show a few. I have every artist you can name, and then some, and it’s all original, and highly collectible. All these come with full background stories and all documents.
These items are available to you for resale, and you don’t have to own the piece in order to sell it and get the profit from it, but it DOES take some coordination, so the same item is not sold twice.
You sell the piece subject to verification, then call us, we put a hold on it and when it’s paid for, it gets shipped.
We do all the prepping, packing, crating and shipping — it all depends on the size of the item or items whether it goes out by truck or FedEx or UPS or USPS.
I have items ranging in price from $100 to $50,000 — Here are some JazzArt Pieces you can sell right away:
Ode to Bill Hinton is the most famous of them all — it was up above the streets on every street-corner all over Toronto and was featured in New York for IAJE, and is featured in half a dozen jazz magazines. It was also used on several TV show sets.
That’s it for the basses that are for sale. I’ll post drums in the next blog, as I’m able.
Meanwhile, this is enough to get you started. The prices are well-established, so don’t be afraid to ask the full price. There’s plenty of room on the upside.
These canvases have all been in many jazz venues, shows and performances. I have many photos and videos showing the jazz greats in front of my art backdrops and panels.
They are perfect for architectural use, and they are painted to react to stage lighting, so if you want drama, this is the art for you!
See You At The Top!!!
